Conflicts & Wars In The Aftermath of WW1 I THE GREAT WAR Epilogue

Рет қаралды 290,431

5 жыл бұрын

In our last epilogue special we outline the wars and conflicts that followed World War 1, some of them immediately and some of them with only a brief period of peace. Even in 1919 it was already clear that "the war to end all wars" didn't in fact do that and that the new world order would be shaped by violence.

hey guys and girls, with this last video, our epilogue series is over and this was the very last episode featuring Indy. Again, this was more meant as an appetizer for the future of the show now. When we filmed this, we didn't know, yet that we could continue working on the show. We will make an announcement about what to expect next year this week. Cheers Flo

KZfaq is concerned with Ads. Hence, several of the big uproars these last couple years affecting many content providers (which the Great War Channel was mostly spared). KZfaq still pays attention only to the most popular channels, not the most factual or historically relevant. Honestly it is a service that would die with any decent competition... but single-payer healthcare in the USA is more likely than that happening, and those living here know I just got blacklisted from a hundred organizations for even SUGGESTING such a commie-inspired policy.

The period after WW1 is so fascinating with so many conflicts that has such minor attention. Niall Ferguson's “War of the World" describes how WW1 + 2 + colonial wars can be described as one war: the war of the world as he put it. Personally I was fascinated by the Ukrainian War of Independence with so many factions (West Ukr. nationalists; Ukrainian nationalists; reds; whites; blacks; Poles). I guess that most of these conflicts have been overshadowed by greater horrors to come: Stalin's terror and WW 2. That might explain these conflicts entered oblivion. Great episode; thanks for all the work and best of luck to Indy!

@@twandepan I find it unlikely that the great powers would be stupid enough to start a new global conflict after the massive tragedies of the Great War. They might be willing to pick fights with these new, tiny nations created by the new post-war order, but a war on the scale that we saw in the Great War could never happen again. And even if some lunatics did start another war between great powers, we have learned enough about modern warfare to keep them in check. The nature of modern weaponry means that any advances will necessarily be slow and advantageous to the defender, meaning that we can easily constrain any aggressor to a static front while they drain their resources on fruitless attacks and eventually collapse to internal division as their own population, well-educated on modern morality and appreciative of the sanctity of human life and the interconnectedness of the human race, refuses to follow a government that refuses to learn its lesson that aggression and warfare make losers of us all. There could never be a "World War Two". Trust me.

I believe you’ve set a new mold for presenting history in this new and exciting way. Bravo! As for this summary of the immediate after-affects of the Great War it’s very depressing how you tie together all the conflicts that sprung from it. You are also bang on as to how the dehumanizing effect of 4 plus years of mass mechanized slaughter marked the survivors of that generation. The even greater mayhem that would follow over the next quarter century was in no small way enabled by that generation of war scarred citizenry. So sad, we are still paying the price for 1914-18 to this day.

Lithuanians were quite determined to beat the russians back, no matter white or red, we just wanted our independence. Other than this small detail it's an amazing vid.

I’ve been getting chills waiting for videos on the revolutions. I love that idea of the brave new world being born out of the Great War. This is history that lives with us today!

Great analyst Indy as per usual.Your last comment reminds me of a conversation i had with a museum curator friend of mine in Crete.. which we came to the conclusion,that it was one big `world war` starting from the two Balkan war s(1912 and 13) straight through to the collapse of the soviet union (1991, an 80 conflict, involving most of the same `players`, just some changing sides when it was in national interest and expediency, with a few treaties thrown in,and a pause by all sides to rearm, replenish ( kinda alike half time,and rest before going in extra time in a football match).

Indy, you have some wrong information on Moldova. Moldova is the east part of the medieval principality of Moldova (today in three countries, 40% in Romania, 40% Republic of Moldova 20% in Ukraine aprox.).In 1812 at the end of Napoleonic wars Tsarist Russia took east part of Moldova (actual Republic of Moldova + north and south parts wich actually are in Ukraine) in an agreement with Ottoman Empire which the latter regretted soon after.I think this was agreed by Napoleon himself, the two European emperors dominating together the continent amnd making thus the ottomans powerless.The Russians called the new province Bessarabia after some old Romanian (Wallachian) dinasty who apparently owned the south of it centuries earlier. In 1859, Wallachia and the remaining Moldova united in a Romanian state under Alexandru Ioan-Cuza, following thus other national unifications like those of italian states which gave Italy or Prussia and Bavaria which gave Germany. In March 1918, following the dissolution of Tsarist Russia, The Council of the Country (Sfatul Ţării) decided by vote (86 for, 3 against and 36 abstaining) the unification with Romania. To keep in mind that the 3 votes against are from national minorities at the time.Ukraine claimed indeed Moldova but the people of Moldova were shocked by this claim

Since you mentioned the Balfour declaration here, I should probably point out, that it did not actually talk about a jewish state, but a "National Home", which is an intentionally vague term used, because the politicians, who made the Balfour declaration did not want to make any real promises. But whatever the intention, it layed the groundwork for a long and very messy conflict, though, it certainly was not the only thing, sparking tensions in the region, by far not!

These epilogues have been very interesting, often the immediate postwar period is ignored in history courses. Or they focus on the rise of the totalitarians in Italy and Germany and nothing else.

The work of the people who have made this show is comparable to what the soldiers back then have donne. My familymembers who have fought in this war would be very proud and i am very proud. Well done Gentlemen, very well done.
